Meet the stars behind Kay & Co’s new ad campaign

There has never been a better time to move to Marylebone or to its neighbouring villages. This is thanks to the beautiful properties, as well as the dazzling range of shops and services throughout the area.

Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. The best of the best. And in recognition of this, Kay and Co has incorporated some of the area’s finest retailers in its new advertising campaign. So, let’s meet some of them now. The butcher, the baker and the fine wine retailer… among others.

Martin joined Kay & Co in 1997 and became Managing Director of the family business in 2008. He runs the Hyde Park and Bayswater office and leads the company’s residential investment and development division.

He advises high profile companies such as British Land and The Howard de Walden Estate on their residential property interests. Furthermore, his passion for central London living means that Martin’s expert views are regularly quoted in the national press.

A former secretary of the central London branch of the National Association of Estate Agents, Martin is also a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents.

In 2006, Sarah graduated with a BA Hons degree in Film, Radio & Television with Media Studies. She began her career in television production, and became an Assistant Art Director.

At the start of 2013, Sarah decided to try something new, and she joined the family business as a Lettings Negotiator with Kay & Co. Property clearly runs in Sarah’s blood. With a friendly approach, she listens to clients’ needs and finds them their perfect properties.

Her dedication and professionalism meant she was promoted to Senior Lettings Negotiator at the end of 2015 and Lettings Manager in the summer of 2016.

For rent, at £1,650 per week, this six-bedroom family house is located on a popular garden square, just a short walk from Kay & Co’s Hyde Park Estate office.

Joe joined Kay & Co in 2011 as a Sales Negotiator and was promoted to Sales Manager of the Hyde Park & Bayswater branch in June 2015. He is a Member of The National Association of Estate Agents and has more than 10 years’ experience in residential property, both in the UK and the UAE.

Joe’s pragmatic approach and intricate knowledge of the W2 postcode allow him to advise Kay & Co’s clients on their Prime Central London property market. Before joining the company, Joe was based in Dubai, selling apartments at the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa.

Buchanans Cheesemonger is a centre of excellence for all things cheese.

“Our aim is to source and supply the best cheese from Britain and Europe,” says Rhuaridh, the company founder. “We tend to the cheese in our own cellars and bring up a selection from the maturing rooms every week.

“We’re a small team, so local customers can get to know us, and we can get to know what they like. We also keep a range of wines and have regular tasting evenings.

“We’ve been in Connaught Village for four years. There’s a strong sense of community and we love getting involved with local events.”

Graduating from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2011 with a degree in Business Administration, Management and Operations, Charlotte joined Kay & Co in 2013. Before that she spent a year working for 37 Degrees, the health provider, where she developed her client-facing skills.

As a sales negotiator based at Kay & Co’s prestigious Hyde Park offices, her personality and charm are key to building relationships with customers.

Charlotte excelled at football and cricket as a child, and was invited to play for the Arsenal Girls under-15 team. Always on the ball, the pitches she prefers these days, however, are those relating to business.
